My Nonprofit Reviews
Matthew B.
Review for The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship, Boston, MA, USA
I was a Albert Schweitzer Fellow in 2008-2009 volunteering as part of the Boston Fellows.
The key to the Schweitzer Fellowship's success is organization and a focus of reflection, enabling people to serve in more effective ways. They are a well-run non-profit from the top down and as such, provide a forum for service and learning about that service so that the delivery of programs improves iteratively. Their impact goes beyond the direct service provided—they work to educate a league of Fellows, investing in their future potential to make change.
I am thankful and was honored to have been a part of the Schweitzer Fellowship program.
